Chapter 788: Chapter 36: Closing the net! [Seeking for monthly ticket!]_1

When Jing Wuya entered again, Chu Liang was sitting upright at his desk, everything seemed no different from before.

Except it was a bit more crowded under the bed.

"General." Chu Liang instantly embodied the fake Monarch and stood up to greet him.

"Hmm." Jing Wuya glanced at him and said, "Earlier, you said you wanted to see Xue Lingxue. I’ve sent the message for you. She should be here shortly."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang’s eyes lit up. He suppressed his inner delight and said, "I am honored that the General has taken my suggestion into consideration."

"Although your advice is indeed related to this matter, it’s not entirely because of you." Jing Wuya’s voice was infused with a gloomy anger.

"The impersonator of Xue Lingxue has a daughter, my adopted daughter Dragon Dance Lady, who stole the The Treasure Mirror of Retention, one of my most vital possessions." He said to Chu Liang, "I don’t know if the Dragon Dance Lady has gone to find her. I might scare off the Snake by summoning her to the Yu Bo Mansion. Therefore, I borrow your plan and summon her to come to the palace. If she is still willing to come, it means that she probably hasn’t met her mother yet."

"Even if she arrives later, you can probe for me in your conversation to see whether The Treasure Mirror of Retention is in her possession."

"I understand." Chu Liang responded repeatedly.

They are trying to find Liao Yuxian to resolve this matter. If Jing Wuya could summon her over, it would save them the trouble of going after her.

However, the Dragon Dance Lady hiding under the bed heard their conversation and started to get anxious. She worried that her unaware mother might fall into Jing Wuya’s trap.

Before she could make any sound, Xue Lingxue quietly held her shoulder. A surge of true qi penetrated her body, and Dragon Dance Lady immediately passed out.

"I will hide in the dark, ready to take action at any time." Jing Wuya looked underneath the bed and took a big stride, intending to go there.

"General..." Chu Liang hurriedly called out.

"Hmm?" Jing Wuya turned back towards him.

The area under the bed was already packed with a mahjong table. If this hulk squeezed in, how could any more people fit?

"The space under the bed is too cramped and dusty, which might compromise your dignity, General." Chu Liang pointed behind the screen, saying, "Why not withdraw the screen and hide here?"

"Alright." Without uttering another word, Jing Wuya moved the screen to the back and concealed himself behind it, reducing his aura. Having suited up in full armor, it was indeed hard for him to lie low. Therefore, he found nothing abnormal.

Chu Liang only felt a headache.

The room... was almost running out of oxygen.

Fortunately, as long as Liao Yuxian appeared, they could end this. He had already contacted his master in the immortals’ circle, both the Empress Feng and Daoist Yan were waiting in the vicinity of Surge Wave City.

Once news from Chu Liang was reported, the two of them would immediately catch the targets.

Since Jing Wuya was confident in dealing with Liao Yuxian, her cultivation would only reach the Seventh Realm Peak at most, and wouldn’t arrive at the Tianyuan Realm. Two female fighters from Shu Mountain to handle her would be more than enough.

After a moment of waiting, the sound of a guard announcing was heard from outside, "Your Majesty, there... there is a strange incident."

"Oh?" Chu Liang replied, "What happened?"

"Miss Xue Lingxue has arrived outside your chamber, saying she is here at your invitation." The guard hesitated, "But..."

"Quickly, let her in and stop asking unnecessary questions!" Chu Liang urgently interrupted.

If Jing Wuya heard two Miss Xue had showed up, he might start to suspect something. Hence, he quickly interrupted the guard’s words.

As the chamber door was once again pushed open, the familiar face of "Xue Lingxue" appeared again.

Chu Liang immediately sent out a message on the immortals’ social platform.

[Chu Liang]: "Catch the target!"

...

"Is it you who wanted to see me?" The newly arrived "Xue Lingxue", with a smile on her face, looked at "Han Lingshou" who was Chu Liang, and asked, "Are you alone here?"

Um...

I alone am an army.

Chu Liang laughed bitterly in his heart, but outwardly answered with sincere fright, "Yes, it’s all for the task the General has entrusted to me, which is why I asked for your help."

"Hehe." The fake Xue Lingxue smiled, "You’ve done well. Since you’ve taken the Monarch’s place, you should bear his thoughts in mind to avoid any flaws."

This senior indeed speaks from experience. The Xue Lingxue she impersonates could trick Iron Hammer, who she had interacted with for many years.

Chu Liang nodded, adding, "I just don’t know when I can restore my true form."

Mockery filled the eyes of the fake Xue Lingxue, as if she had seen through the fate of this petty man to be wiped out by Jing Wuya eventually. She sighed, "When we gain control of the domestic situation."

"Do I need The Treasure Mirror of Retention to restore my original form?" Chu Liang asked, "Where is that treasure now?"

"The Treasure Mirror of Retention?" The fake Xue Lingxue furrowed her brows, "Isn’t that Jing Wuya’s treasure? Where else could it be?"

Jing Wuya, hidden behind the screen, confirmed that Liao Yuxian and her daughter had indeed not met each other. Just as he was about to reveal himself, an announcement was made from outside.

"Your Majesty!" The guard’s voice was filled with distress, "A woman covered in flames has forced her way in. She claims to hail from Shu Mountain and insists on meeting Your Majesty immediately!"

"A woman covered in flames?" The color drained from the False Xue Lingxue’s face, "Could it be Empress Feng from Shu Mountain? What does she want?"

"I have no idea." Chu Liang shook his head continuously.

"That woman is insane, it’s best not to provoke her. Let her in, I’ll hide for now." The false Xue Lingxue glanced around, focusing on the area under the bed.

"Eh——" Chu Liang quickly objected, "The underneath of the bed is cramped and dusty. It might ruin your image."

"Hmmm..." The false Xue Lingxue then cast her gaze to behind the screen. Chu Liang quickly added, "The space behind the screen is cluttered. I fear you will find no place to stand."

"Hmph." Annoyed, the false Xue Lingxue snorted, leapt upwards and disappeared into the beam of the room, concealing her presence.

Chu Liang then began to shout towards the palace’s exterior, "Let her in! Do not stop her!"

As his voice died away, terrible screams flew from the guard’s mouth as the main gate of the palace was blasted open.

The newcomer, a tall figure with flaming red lips and a pair of divine phoenix wings fluttering among her hair, was the Empress Feng, Peak Master of Silver Sword Peak from Shu Mountain!

Charging into the room, the Empress locked eyes with the "only" person present, barked out, "Code!"

Chu Liang had pre-determined this arrangement with her. Otherwise, with such a common face, there was bound to be some misunderstandings.

Listening closely, Chu Liang said loudly, "Pay your debts!"

Empress Feng immediately replied, "As natural as the course of heaven and earth!"

Once they had completed their code challenge, each confirming the other’s identity, Empress Feng raised her hand and a ball of Samadhi Divine Fire swept out.

Boom——

The ball of Divine Fire, resembling a sentient bird, whirled around the room, instantly reducing the entire palace to ashes, leaving not even a trace behind.

The once vast palace, along with all its decorations, vanished in a puff of smoke.

Now, everyone who had been hiding was revealed, especially Jing Wuya and the false Xue Lingxue, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Jing Wuya had fortuitously been behind the screen, untouched by the Divine Fire. The false Xue Lingxue, hiding in the beams, was almost swallowed directly by the Divine Fire. Thanks to her quick reaction, she was safe, but the glow of her disguise was touched by the fire and completely vanished, revealing her true form.

She appeared to be a beautiful woman in her thirties, with an air of cold allure in her eyes.

Only Chu Liang who knew the whole situation ordered, "Don’t let them escape!"

At his command, the wild phoenix was unleashed!

Boom!
